I Think I Was Scammed!?


I’m such an idiot i can’t believe i signed in.. I just upgraded my phone and i thought they were sending me a text about my account .. i got a text:
# 1 (410) 000-002
1 of 2
FRM:oficialdeprestamos543@prestamosrdo…
MSG:Congratulations! We are satisfied to inform you that we
(Con’t) 2 of 2
have awarded you, for more details please visit: http://xav.cc/d5afa
(End)
I didn’t think anything of it at first.. it comes to a page that looks very similar to at&t except i didnt read the website address once it loaded cause it was on my phone and i wasn’t thinking. Well i forgot my account and password so i had to do all that and when you click on the forgot password link it does bring you to a real at&t website to get that but i went back and logged on .. it asked for my last 4 SSN! NOOOOOOOOOOO why did i think they would need that im so stupid..
I changed my password called at&t had them set up extra security on my account by adding a pass code for any changes so i don’t think they can add a line or buy a phone with my account?? i don’t even think they could u would need to add a credit card to the account and there is not one.. i cant find ANYTHING about this website elsanunez.com/images/ is what it redirects you to.. elsanunez.com is the main site and that def isn’t an at&t affiliate.. i am usually so cautious i cant believe i did this.. what can happen? the login doesn’t use a name just my phone number and ssn .. and only the last 4 of it not the full ssn.. can they get me .. is there anything else i can do?

Has Anyone Else Been Scammed By A Company Called Express Platinum Card?


I had applied online for an “AMERICAN EXPRESS PLATINUM CARD” and got a reply that said someone would be contacting me. About a week later I got a call that said my online application had been approved and I was going to be receiving an “EXPRESS PLATINUM CARD” with a credit limit of $5,000. If I would like to get this card then I needed to pay the first years fee’s of $99. I said ok. They read off my bank account information and that was that. Two weeks later I didn’t receive my card so I called their number 800-887-2636 and was told that they are an online shopping store and the credit is with their store only and they are not affiliated with American Express. I ask for a refund and was told that there is no refunds. I ask for a copy of our recorded phone conversation and was told that it was not in their policy to do so. I had to close my bank account (incase they try to take more money) and file a form to try to recover the money. I am trying to file a complaint with the BBB but you have to have an address and I have tried calling them back and they put me on hold for hours then hang up. Google does not pull up any address…just other peoples complaints. Anyone else go thru this?
